Nazis don't run Ukraine, in many ways Putin is more fascist then the Ukrainian leadership.

You expect Russia to sit idly by when over 80% of Crimea voted for them to help?

The question seems to suggest that Crimeans voted before Russia seized the territory. No such vote happened. The vote that did happen happened under the control of Russia and was far from a free and fair vote (and also didn't even include the option to remain part of Ukraine). Its quite possible that a vote to join Russia would have won a majority, since there are so many Russians in Ukraine (and were even before Russia moved more in), but there is no way it would have won 96.77% of the vote that it did win (brings to mind any number of other sham elections, including one I remember where the results were released before the election), or even the "over 80%" from your statement.
